As am I-i trust the GOP to pick federal judges far more than the DNC. and I actually believe hillary. I believe she wants to jack up my taxes and she does want to pick justices who will try to hold that there is no constitutional individual right of honest citizens to own guns

Gary Johnson. Ever since it became apparent the two major parties were going to nominate Trump and Clinton, Johnson became the only sane choice. I don't believe in voting for the lesser of two evils. Those who do that are knowingly voting for evil to reside in the White House. Georgia.
 
I am most certainly not an ardent Trump supporter. But I am absolutely an anti-Hillary opponent. The other candidates are meaningless.

IMO, every voter should be questioning the global attack against Donald Trump, and the death of real journalism that surrounds her attempt to get elected.

Why is there a global effort to get Hillary elected? Why has the MSM destroyed their credibility to get her elected?

What is it we don't know about Hillary and her backers that has brought about the massive effort?

The media has always been biased, but I've never witnessed the level of fraud, deceit and manipulation they have been conducting this election cycle.

A Trump victory will push these enemies of liberty and freedom aside, so the voters might actually have a chance to be represented in the manner the Founders intended.

I just read about Weld supporting Hillary.

Oh … I did not know much about Johnson and finally watched interviews and on issues … as much as I would love a viable third party candidate he seemed like a nice enough fellow yet not very sharp.

Doesn't matter as long as the last name isn't Trump or Clinton. Johnson, Stein, Castle or Gaylord Cumquat. Neither Trump or Clinton belong within 50 million miles of the Oval Office.

Rumor has it that Johnson finally knows where Aleppo is.

Good gawd. I saw an interview with a basic question on a world leader he admires and he stumbled and could not think of any … then he giggled and said he was having an aleppo moment. Finally they tried to help him and he answered Mexico's last president yet he could not remember why or what his name was.
 
I'll vote Trump who at least will attempt to build relationships with other foreign leaders and countries.

Hillary has a proven track record. She will lead us to a endless quagmire in the Middle East, Africa, and escalate violence and potentially war with Russia and North Korea.

As a Christian I cannot support a war-mongerer like Hillary, whose philosophy is built on neoconservative values. If her mentors are Henry Kissinger and Franklin Roosevelt, we should fear for violence, bloodshed, and higher taxes. The dark ages are upon us.
 
Definitely either Johnson or Stein. I honestly think this "Not Trump, therefore Clinton" mentality is really dangerous given all the controversies, dishonesty, and the like, as well as one of the things (if not THE thing) perpetuating this 2-party crapshow we keep seeing, that people keep complaining about.
 
Hillary. It's an easy choice.

Barring outside uncontrollable events (e.g. Russian invades Western Europe or some other insanity) the worst that will happen is stability and reinstitution of stronger 4th Amendment rights for individual citizens. We'll continue our snail-paced path toward universal health care too.

Shrieks of higher taxes, death squads, economic disaster, and coming to take our guns (oh my!) are as without foundation as they were 8 years ago when Obama took office.

Stability: it's a good thing.

And a ever increasing Conservative base thanks to 4 more years of economic stagnation and decline.

Nothing grows the Conservatives base like the consequences of Progressive policies.

Is that why the Democrats are going to win the White House for the 3rd time in a row?

GOP gerrymandering creates uphill fight for Dems in the House | PBS NewsHour

From the article:

In 2012, Republicans maintained a 33-seat majority in the House, even though GOP candidates as a group got 1.4 million fewer votes than their Democratic opponents.

So congratulations on your sweeping victories that a majority of Americans didn't vote for. Further, the fact is that if red states like North Dakota weren't over-represented in the electoral college, this Presidential election would be an even greater landslide than it's already going to be.

I live in PA (note my location on the left).
Other - Stein

I've decided on my presidential choice by process of elimination:
Trump - I didn't want to vote for him to begin with, and everything I've seen him do since he stated campaigning has reinforced that decision. Not voting for him.
Clinton - I didn't want to vote for her to begin with, because I wanted to vote for Sanders. And while, after her nomination, I have been somewhat persuaded by what might be a shift towards some policies I agree with, I just don't trust her to follow through. I was almost persuaded to vote for her to ensure Trump didn't get elected. But I decided that is a bull**** argument. Not voting for her.
Johnson - I was vaguely interested until I found out he supports TPP. Not to mention he's a bit...libertarian Not voting for him.
Stein - I was vaguely interested in voting for her, in part because a friend of mine mentioned her as an option like Sanders (this was around when it started appearing impossible for Sanders to get nominated). I did some research and listened to an interview or two. As of this time, I've decided to vote for her.

I do not expect her to win. But I cannot bring myself to ignore enough problems with the other 3 candidates to vote for one of them.
